FENTON, MI –
A Fenton High School student won himself a $1,000 scholarship and his school
$500 in a video contest by Vic Canever Chevrolet of Fenton.

Five teams
from high schools in Genesee County took place in the contest, which was
started in November and required that they submit a 30-second video television spot.

Fenton High
School student Ken Carbary, who led the team and produced the winning
television spot received the $1,000 college scholarship, according to a news
release. A $500 donation to the school's video production department also will
be given.

"Vic Canever
decided to start this contest to give back to the community, and to help local
high school kids showcase their talents. We know that these kids are the future
of our community and we are excited to invest in their future," said Matt
Stevens, general sales manager, in the news release.

Carbary's
video will air on local television next month.

The winning
video was chosen by a panel of judges at the dealership, based on its
creativity, originality and appropriateness to the dealership's theme.

The submitted
videos were posted on Facebook and the number of "likes" they received was
factored into the judging process.
